Farmers are responsible for just 1.4pc of EU 's economic output but suck up a third of the bloc's budget.
The Dutch farmers have created a monster monster agricultural industry.
Farmers are proudly independent business people who baulk at regulations and restrictions.
But many are practically wards of the state who are dependent on generous subsidies and protectionist policies.
Sewage treatment works and waste water, including storm overflows, are responsible for causing pollution to 36pc of water bodies in the UK .
But do you want to guess what is causing pollution in 40pc of the country’s water bodies? Yep, farms.
There's undoubtedly a case to be made for rethinking how states subsidise agriculture.
